Just because it is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of Goddoes not make it an even, 50-50 likelihood one way or the other.
I think most atheists would accept that no-one can ever know for sure, but base their position on an overwhelming lack of evidence for God's existence, rather than any dogmatic belief system.
I don't refuse to believe in God, I just haven't been given a convincing reason to do so.
Whether or not you consider this position to be truly atheist or not is more an argument of semantics, rather than theology.
